Croque Monsieur Sliders

Croque Monsieur Sliders

Ingredients:

2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
3 Tablespoons flour
1 1/4 cups milk
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
8 KING’S HAWAIIAN® Sweet Dinner Rolls
8 slices of thinly shaved ham
1 1/2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese, divided

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Add the flour and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture is pale and foamy, about 3 minutes. Slowly add the milk, whisking until smooth. Let the béchamel simmer for 2 minutes, whisking frequently. Remove from the heat and add the salt and pepper.

Open up the rolls and place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Spread the insides of both tops and bottoms with the béchamel. Top the bottom halves with one ham slice. Using 1 cup of the Gruyere, sprinkle the cheese evenly on top of all the ham. Close the rolls and sprinkle the remaining half cup of cheese onto the tops of the rolls. Bake for 10 minutes, until cheese, is brown and bubbling.

Bon Appétit!
